True storey. Guy I know is a multi millionaire. He's late 60's. He starting "dating" a 27 year old Singapore Airlines air hostess. He regularly bought her expensive jewellery. I told him, "you realise that she's a gold digger".
His reply, "Who cares!!!!"
As for my swedish sweety, she just needs a scrub with a wire brush after use and she's good to go.
Got some calibrated change plates as well (5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.5 & 0.25kg) plus a pair of calibrated collars. Next step is 10x 25kg plates and a pair of 10's. That should do the job for common training weights.
